• Other Key Facts:
As this program begins to drive down tonnage at the Cedar Hills Regional Landfill, the County will need to find new sources of revenue that are not dependent on waste tonnage delivered to the landfill. This will be presented in an accompanying presentation by King County Solid Waste on the Solid Waste Rate Restructure.
OUTCOMES:
The work of the County’s RE+ program is critical to the City of Redmond and the region in meeting solid waste diversion goals. This presentation is providing information from the County on RE+ to give context on the reasons for restructuring solid waste rates, and to provide information about how the County programs around waste reduction and diversion align with City programs and priorities.
